Hi Derek,
what I'm seeing is that the client is not sending any arp request
at all. It just starts out by sending UDP packets from 1069 to
port 1069 on server, using the default router.
And looking at kdp_udp.c, I don't see any ARP resolution code. It
just takes whatever is the default gateway (set at
kdp_set_gateway_mac, called from rt_setgate in route.c) and sends
the request there. SInce we're on a managed network, I'm not at
all optimistic about having any configuration changes made on the
router.
I've worked around this in the past by deleting the default route, and
then setting the default route to point to the machine running the
panic server.. This obviously will not work in all cases, but it may
be enough to help you.

Hi Drew,
that will be OK for some scenarios but not for the general ones we have.
The simple approach, which also works for only some of our usage, is
to put the clients behind a mini-router. That will then forward the
packets properly, which the "big network" router refuses to do.
In the slightly longer term we'll just fix the kernel. We're already
custom-building so this will not be the massive pain it would be for
most people.
Thanks.....Peter
